What would you do if your life turned upside down overnight?
Witnessing the devastation of 9/11 before his eyes and narrowly
escaping death, Kushal’s life was never going to be the same
again. Suddenly, all his pursuits felt meaningless and he felt a
void within him like he had never felt before-until one day, when
he reluctantly decided to spend an afternoon with a spiritual
master in New York City. From being a Wall Street trader immersed
in the material world to embarking on a quest to find answers to
life’s biggest questions, Kushal Choksi writes about his doubts,
struggles and revelations on a spiritual path as a left-brained
skeptic. On a Wing and a Prayer is one such (true) account of one
man finding himself on a fifteen-year long journey shadowing the
spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
We humans have been created with all manner of recurring continuous
emotional, intellectual and physical rhythms that just never stop.
In essence we are in fact, a vast collection of never-ending cyclic
changes within the tiniest cells of our physical bodies, our
organic makeup and in our behavioural attitudes. A fresh look at
our behavioural patterns and our rhythms and cycles. Why we do the
things we do when we do.

A practical system for those with ADHD to take back their personal
power and embrace their unique talents for success in the modern
world * Explains how those with ADHD grow up wounded by the
negative labels and attitudes surrounding them and their
"diagnosis" * Shares simple and fast-acting techniques from
neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to recalibrate painful memories
into valuable learning experiences, re-pattern learned behaviors
and negative habits, and discover personal motivation * Reveals how
the novelty-seeking behaviors of those with ADHD are valuable
assets to society and should be embraced rather than suppressed One
of the first rules of child-rearing is "condemn the behavior, not
the child." Yet this commonsense rule doesn't seem to apply in the
case of attention deficit disorder, or ADHD, where the very name of
the condition implies that those labeled with it are "disordered,"
"deficient," and incapable of paying attention. Those with ADHD
grow up wounded, told by teachers, guidance counselors, even
parents that they are dysfunctional and unable to succeed in the
"normal" world. But, as ADHD expert Thom Hartmann explains, those
with ADHD are capable of great success if they can shift the
negative self-image created by others and learn to work with their
unique strengths. In this accessible guide for adults with ADHD and
the parents and teachers of ADHD children, Hartmann offers a
practical system of useful tools and strategies to heal the damage
done to a person who grew up labeled as "dysfunctional" and help
them cope with--and succeed at--daily life. He explains how the
character traits of ADHD were once valuable assets in
hunter-gatherer societies and that the later dominance of
agricultural and industrial societies, where "farmer" and "worker"
skillsets excel, left ADHD "hunters" as behavioral outcasts.
Sharing simple and often fast-acting techniques from
neurolinguistic programming (NLP), Hartmann explains how those with
ADHD can take back their personal power, recalibrate painful
memories into valuable learning experiences, shed fears and
negative habits, and rebuild their self-image in a positive way. By
integrating the strategies in this book into daily life, those with
ADHD can transform their way of responding to the world, discover
personal motivation, and teach their children to do the same. As
Hartmann reveals, it is not ADHD that needs to be healed but our
attitudes toward those born with the "hunter" gift.
Who on earth is that imaginary friend your child talks about? And
talks to? Their own creation? A figment of a creative and fertile
imagination? But what if? What if this friend is something we don't
yet have a word for. A ghost? A Spirit Guide? An ancestor wanting
to reach out to this sensitive and receptive child? And what about
those dreams? Those images your child conjures from nowhere? Ones
that no one could possibly 'dream up'? And what about the invisible
friends who come to dinner? Recent research indicates that there is
a strong possibility that imaginary friends could be a relative who
passed away before the child was born. When Jade, my daughter was 3
years old, she always defiantly asserted that 'Sammy' was her
brother. Could this be the child I lost in a miscarriage years ago?
Some people dismiss the spirit world as jiggery-pokery. Others wait
in the firm belief that loved ones who have passed over will be in
contact. It seems that children up to the age of eight, are
receptive to spirit contact. After this time the tangible, concrete
world of logical strategies and mathematical equations sets in. As
the child is challenging what they know, start to perceive and test
boundaries, question their parents and, importantly, absorbs their
peers' perspectives and opinions, some faculties may get lost. Or
hidden away. Mediums, sensitives and their clients have evidence
that the door to spirit contact can sometimes remain open into
adulthood.
In 2010, Richard Merrick took a family trip to Scotland's Rosslyn
chapel--the enigmatic fifteenth-century temple made famous by Dan
Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." Little did he know he was about to
embark upon an intellectual and personal journey that would lead to
the discovery of a real-life lost symbol--one that reveals the
connection between the world's most sacred temples and opens up a
treasure trove of lost science and ancient secrets.
The symbol he discovers--the Venus Blueprint--is based on that
planet's orbital pattern, which takes the shape of a five-pointed
star when seen from Earth. As Merrick digs deeper, he realizes the
Venus Blueprint was an integral part of the design template of some
of the most significant religious architecture around the
world--including St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the Roman
Pantheon, the Greek Parthenon, the Temple of Jerusalem, and the
Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as many buildings designed by the
secretive Freemason society.
Upon further examination, Merrick is astounded to discover that
temples designed using the Venus Blueprint are endowed with
extraordinary acoustics that, when supplied with the right tones
and frequencies, are capable of harmonizing with Earth's resonant
frequencies and evoking altered states of consciousness. He then
proposes a fascinating idea: Could it be that the ancients used
these harmonics to enhance entheogenically induced visions--to
commune with the divine and liberate the gods within?
Supported by an impressive array of historical research and
scientific analysis, "The Venus Blueprint" offers compelling
evidence of an ancient lost culture that was both spiritually and
scientifically advanced.
Sex is at the core of our identities. And when it becomes a
compulsion, it can unravel our lives. Out of the Shadows is the
premier work on sexual addiction, written by a pioneer in its
treatment. Revised and updated to include the latest research-and
to address the exploding phenomenon of cybersex addiction-this
third edition identifies the danger signs, explains the dynamics,
and describes the consequences of sexual addiction and dependency.
With practical wisdom and spiritual clarity, it points the way out
of the shadows of sexual compulsion and back into the light and
fullness of life.
In August 2003, a mysterious and unprecedented collaboration of
American and Romanian military troops conducted an expedition
beneath the Romanian Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains and uncovered
the greatest archaeological find of all time: a mysterious chamber
some 50,000 years old with holographic technology that is beyond
mans wildest dreams. Despite the political intrigue, turmoil and
restriction around this great discovery, the leader of the
expedition enabled Radu Cinamar to visit and explore these
artefacts. Ever since, Radu's life has been a labyrinthine
adventure of strange events, clandestine liaisons and extraordinary
people and circumstances. This book tells the story of Radu's
meeting with a Tibetan lama who claims to have put the above events
in motion in order to change major imbalances in the Earth. This is
not only a remarkable story, but it is an initiation of the highest
order that will benefit anyone reading it. The book will take you
far beyond your ordinary imagination in order to describe events
that have moulded the past and will influence the future in the
decades ahead.
A detailed examination of the controversial expeditions to the
Tayos Cave complex in Ecuador and the treasures glimpsed in its
depths * Reconstructs the expeditions from the 1960s and '70s,
including the Mormon Church's search for lost tablets, Stanley
Hall's quest with Neil Armstrong, and sightings of a metal library,
books of gold, copper plates, and a quartz sarcophagus * Includes
photos from the author's own dangerous expeditions to the Tayos
Caves * Explores connections to Atlantis, Ancient Astronauts, and
the Hollow Earth theory and the possibility of tunnel networks that
extend from the Rocky Mountains to Patagonia The Cuevas de los
Tayos is a cavern complex in the Amazon rain forest of Ecuador.
Named for the tayos, the oil birds that reside within them, these
caves have countless enigmas connected with them, from the
discovery of inexplicable architectural details, to claims of
curses and treasures, to dangerous encounters with the indigenous
people, the Shuar, for whom the caves are sacred. Sharing his more
than 30 years of research into the Tayos Caves as well as his own
explorations, Alex Chionetti examines the legends and mysteries
associated with this site and the explorers who have ventured
within. He details the discovery of the Tayos Cave complex by
Hungarian explorer Janos Juan Moricz in the 1960s, including
Moricz's claims of finding a metal library with books of gold.
Exploring the oral tradition of the Shuar, he explains how this
region was the possible origin of Incan culture and the legend of
El Dorado. The author shares his own dangerous explorations within
the Tayos Caves, and, drawing on unpublished interviews with
speleologist Julio Goyen Aguado, he reconstructs the expeditions of
the 1960s and '70s, revealing the Mormon Church's search for lost
tablets, a British army incursion, and sightings of paintings, gold
statues and skeletons, copper plates, and a quartz
sarcophagus--treasures akin to the Crespi treasure. The author also
shares details from Stanley Hall's suspicious expedition in 1976,
which included astronaut Neil Armstrong. Investigating the lost
civilizations behind the Tayos treasures, Chionetti explores the
possible connections to Atlantis, aliens, Ancient Astronauts, and
the Hollow Earth theory; the caves' links with hermetic societies;
and claims of tunnel networks that extend thousands of miles
through both American continents, from the Rocky Mountains to
Patagonia. Sharing a real-life adventure story wilder than an
Indiana Jones plot, the author shows that Earth's ancient past has
many secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Particularly focused on those in pain and in need of comfort and
healing, and intended to touch and open the human heart, this book
is a unique introduction to the Himalayan Wisdom Tradition. A
Himalayan Siddha master is one who through a course of ascetic
trainings has reached the highest truth, and Yogmata-Ji is one of
only a few such masters alive today to transmit the Himalayan
Wisdom to the world. As Yogmata-Ji writes, “I am here to guide
you on a journey of transformation to expand your consciousness and
help you reconnect to the sacred source.” This she does with
compassion and wit and a continual refrain to her own experience.
The lessons are wide ranging, touching on many facets of our
self-ascribed limitations, which with patience and love she
explores and explodes. The focused, incisive, and caring
nature of 108 Teachings makes it a perfect work of daily
meditations, the practice of which places the reader on a unique
path of discovery and self-realization.Â
The Razorblade of Zen introduces Zen Buddhism and its unique
meditation as a nonmystical, plain and simple, physical approach to
finding sanctuary and self-examination amid the hectic everyday
life that people face. Many people still harbor misconceptions
about Zen despite the mainstreaming of meditation and the
dissemination of Zen publishing. This book clarifies the real Zen
and defines its place in our culture as simply and directly as
possible, placing the practice of Zen where it belongs in today’s
cultural and ideological context: occupying the middle ground
between extremes of rationalist science and theistic religion. From
this perspective, living with Zen becomes possible without
compromising the demands of living in the world today.
Use these strategies to warm your heart and open your mind to the
power of happiness. Happiness is like the answer to a riddle. The
more we want it and the more we seek it, the more elusive it
becomes. And yet, when we are least conscious of looking for it, it
can envelop us in a warm sense of contentment and belonging, making
a single moment precious and valuable beyond measure. Scientists
will tell us that happiness has the power to heal and to
extend life. It is the ingredient we all seek to make our lives
complete. Happiness makes us feel glad to be alive and this book
offers you a more joyous approach to living and thinking; a shift
in approach that may reframe your view of the world. Simple things
you can do to reconsider your life – consciously – so that you
can decide whether now is the time when you can be happier. It
shares the experiences of others and provides the closest we might
have to a happiness 'formula'. The good news is, happiness is
within everyone’s grasp.
